[QUOTE="SlickyBoy, post: 1552198, member: 8508"] A serial fornicator friend of mine is finally tying the knot, with a stereotypical western white woman in her mid 30s who works a high paying job in big tech (one of the FAANG companies). He just turned 40. Career and money for him has been sporadic, and he demonstrates over the top narcissistic tendencies (I stress that last bit does not mean he's a bad person). They are both spiritual basket cases coming from formerly protestant families with modern secular lifestyles. Each has a therapist and a prescription or two. I've attributed him getting married to his inner voice telling him he's running out of options. Of course, for her, a mid-30s career woman is already nearly out of options in terms of family formation, so the train wreck risk factor is already high. But it gets worse - I found out quite by accident that he owes a massive amount of money to the IRS (American tax authorities) to the tune of about a quarter of a million dollars, with some more owed to state tax authorities. The thing is, I don't think his fiancee knows. She's not hurting for cash, but just the same if they get married and file a joint tax return, that tax debt will become attached to her in some respects. Knowing who he is, she has zero idea as he's not told her about the numerous judgments against him. I'm not about to get involved, but situations like this still frustrate me. He's gliding through life thinking the IRS is never going to catch up to him and his cavalier attitude could take down others around him. Just wanted to air it out - any thoughts appreciated.
